About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a counsellor who helps people facing addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and intimacy concerns. She works in English and Spanish and practices from the United Kingdom. Alejandra holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of professional experience to her work.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. She blends methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take, learning patterns that get in the way, and building skills to cope with strong emotions.

Alejandra offers support for a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas above. These include abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with anger, codependency and commitment worries.

In sessions she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Practical tools are used alongside deeper processing work when needed, for example when trauma-related memories are part of the problem. The pace is set by the person seeking help.

People choosing to work with Alejandra can expect a straightforward style, in which goals are set together and progress is reviewed. She encourages taking small, manageable steps and developing clearer ways of relating to others and to oneself.

How Alejandra’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting ruled by them, and focuses on actions that match a person’s values. This can help with struggles such as addiction, relationship difficulties and living with chronic illness.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It aims to build more secure ways of connecting and can be useful for intimacy problems, abandonment concerns and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandra collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter session during a work break. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that speaking remotely still allows deep, practical work using skill teaching, emotional processing and structured exercises.
